Simon Young from The Slants: On Location from Anime Weekend Atlanta

The Maitre d'

On a special two-part episode of the Chainsaw Buffet Podcast, we travel to Anime Weekend Atlanta to talk with The Man Power and Simon Young of The Slants about their music, bands, and interests (including, of course, anime). Having seen their shows and met them at MTAC this year, there were already some big fans among the Chainsaw Buffet crew.

The Slants are an Oregon-based band whose genre-defying music combines high-energy beats with sophisticated lyrics. Combined with their killer, fire-breathing stage shows, they're an unstoppable force of the music scene.

Hailing from Nashville, the Man Power is anything but country. In fact, if you said that to their face, I'm pretty sure they'd melt your face off with their killer otaku-flavored rock stylings, and then blow your mind with their pandemonium-inducing performances on stage. Kneel before the awesomeness that is the Man Power!!

Catchphrases

September 25, 2008 02:36 PM

I think "that was oddly specific" is going to become a new catchphrase for me.

The Sommelier

There were things said...

September 25, 2008 05:57 PM

that probably should have been edited out.

The Chef

He doesn't know...

September 25, 2008 06:00 PM

He doesn't know the meaning of the words "edited out". It helps with his porn business.

reaperman

True.

September 25, 2008 06:09 PM

It should be noted that your link to the Notorious MSG is incorrect. Take out the "the."

The Maitre d'

OK

September 25, 2008 09:45 PM

Fixed the link.

I thought I mentioned that we generally don't edit anything out.

The Chef

Indeed.

September 25, 2008 09:57 PM

Not out of the podcast, and not out of your porn.

I think that comment counts as you admitting to owning a secret (or not-so-secret, now that you've admitted it) porn business.

reaperman

I wouldn't call it a business...

September 25, 2008 10:02 PM

so much as an empire. Dylan owns a porn empire.

The Chef

This is true.

September 25, 2008 10:31 PM

This, too, is true.

The Maitre d'

Filthy lies.

September 25, 2008 11:07 PM

FILTHY LIES!

The Chef

You know what they say.

September 26, 2008 07:34 AM

If you have to deny it, it's probably true.
